PS4/PS5 whatever’s cheaper. Both excellent tyres. I found the PZs to be good in the warm and dry, and pants in the cold. The pilot sports are great year round. The only other tyre I’d consider is possibly eagle F1 A6 if they were cheaper again.
Current - MK8 CS - Dolphin Grey, DCC, Black Estoril, Rear Camera, Sunroof, Winter Pack, Harmon Kardon

Previous and sorely missed - MK7.5 GTI Perf, Indium Grey, Brescias, Art Velours, Rear Camera

Just bought a set of PS5’s in 19” to replace the previous PS5’s in18”. Didn’t bother considering alternatives as to me, a great all year round tyre.

Bridgestone Potenza Sport for me. I find them really good all year and they always rate well in various car tests.

My GTI came fitted with Goodyear Eagle F1 Supersports from new back in Nov 2020. I changed them to Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 in Oct 23 when I replaced the 18" for 19" alloys. Good all-rounder with no complaints and even wear on all 4.
Mk 8 GTI DSG.
Moonstone Grey.
Purchased new in Nov 2020 by me.
Accessories:
Racing Line RL360 Gunmetal Grey 19"Alloys. Tyres are new Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6. Both fitted 20/10/23.
Racing Line R600 Air filter system/hoses.
Racing Line High Performance Ignition Packs {Red}.
